Bay Beach Amusement Park

We went on a Wednesday and had so much fun. Tickets are only 25 cents each and for 11 of us we only spent $30 on rides for the whole day. The toddler rides are free Tues-Thursdays so we didn't need tickets for those since we went on a Wednesday. The older kids rode rides multiple times and had a blast. The food we felt was was kind of expensive due to the fact that you didn't get much food for what you paid for and the food was bland. One of our favorite parts of the park was the inclusive playground. It was kind of a far walk from the roller coaster, but they are in the works of building a train ride that takes you over to the park. We all had a blast at the park and everyone loved the zip lines. I would definitely recommend this amusement park. It is free to enter, tickets are cheap, and you can bring your own food in, which I would recommend.

This park is truly one of the gems of the Green Bay area—affordable, family-friendly, and packed with charm. There’s ample parking, so getting in and out is a breeze. The grounds are clean and well maintained, with plenty of shaded spots and seating areas to relax. There are pavilions available for rent, which makes it perfect for group gatherings or celebrations. The rides are thoughtfully designed for children, making it a great spot for younger families. Ticket prices are extremely reasonable at just $0.25 each, with rides ranging from free to 4 tickets per person. We spent about 4 hours here and only spent around $30 total on tickets and snacks—amazing value! Wait times for rides were short and kept things moving smoothly. All in all, a delightful place to spend an afternoon without breaking the bank.

Clean and appears well maintained with plenty of staff. Rides are really a bargain and geared perfectly for younger kids. Family friendly fun for anyone on a budget. Right on the bay and next to wildlife sanctuary for a good wind down walk.

An absolute gem that has delighted families for generations. The park is well maintained and affordable to all. There are rides for kids of all ages with small or no lines making everything even more enjoyable. I highly recommend bringing your kids and grandkids to enjoy all the park has to offer.

Amazing place with so much fun stuff for the kids to do. We stopped as a rest point on a larger trip and it was perfect. Super cheap rides and food. Free and plentiful parking, no entry fee etc. We will definitely be back!

Go on a yearly basis. If you have children bay beach is an awesome place to go. Plenty of rides and also very affordable! Everything is very fairly priced down to the concessions. Will continue to go back till the kids get too old.

If you are ever in Green Bay this is must see! Awesome place to take the kids or an awesome date. Enjoy the cheap rides .25 cents per ticket and the whole family can have fun for under $40 dollars and also great prices on the concessions.

What a great place!!! So affordable!!! Stopped for a few hours of fun before Packer Family Night, purchased $40 in tickets (which gave us 160) for a family of 6. Kids went on quite a few rides and adults even enjoyed a few. Left and still had tickets but figured since we were spending the night we'd stop back in the morning for more fun. Stayed for another almost 2 hours and enjoyed more of the higher ticket rides because lines weren't as long because of just opening. Ended up giving away the 76 tickets we had left to a family on their way into the park so we could head home. Concessions are even very reasonable. Very enjoyable!!!

We love Bay Beach! The rides range from .25 to $1.50. An affordable and fun way to entertain the family for a day. They have food and drinks and a gift shop as well. The food is affordable and the staff is friendly. There is a wonderful view of the Green Bay from the top of the Ferris wheel. We went on the historic roller coaster, the Zippin Pippin, four times. Any day at Bay Beach is a great day !

Amazing Wisconsin treasure! We've been coming here for 30 years, always have a great time.

PARKING: The parking here was more than enough and there are many different parking lots as well. PRICE: The price here was INCREDIBLE it was only 25 CENTS per ticket but some rides costed 6 or 4 tickets! ATMOSPHERE: the atmosphere here was great we went on a rainy day so there not as many ppl there. Also the bay front view was just breathtaking (P.S if you want a nice view of the Bay go on the Farsi Wheel!) RIDES: Now the rides here were a good amount, but on a busy day it might be long lines. But the rides were fun and at a cheap price you can be there all day! OVERALL: Great experience and would definitely go again! So am going to go give it 4 !

I came here with my fiance and my son (6 years old) while we were on vaction in Green Bay. We had always heard great things about this park so we decided to check it out. Like all amusment parks, rides cost tickets so we got tickets as soon as we entered. The tickets were really cheap! The concession stands do not serve alcohol (which is fine for me) and I was expecting to pay an arm and a leg but even those prices are reasonable. My son went on almost every ride there and had a blast. We spent about 3 or 4 hours there before heading out to go get dinner. My son wanted to go back the next day before we left to go home that day and we did. He had just as much fun as he had the day before. We were there for another 3 or 4 hours and he was running around so much he took a nap in the car on the way home. We are definitely going to be back!

I like coming to Bay Beach ever so often. It's a nice place you can either walk along the water or come enjoy some rides. The rides are fun, and seem safe. The food is great as well as their food court. Some summers I like to come and just eat in the food court, and go on a small walk by the water! The parking is not horrible, and there's plenty of parking spaces and parking lots as well. The price for tickets are pretty good, for only 25 cents per ticket! But, some rides costed up to 6 tickets each. The vibe there is great and the view on the water is amazing. Overall I recommend going here, I had a great experience and I think you will too!

In wasn't planning to go here, but so thankful we did! I can't imagine a more perfect way to complete our final days before kids return to school! Free parking, free admission. Tickets $0.25 each Rides take 1-3 tickets per ride. Yes, the most expensive ride is only $0.75 for one ride!!! I bought 50 tickets for $12.50, expecting to blow through them. We were here for 4.5 hours. I even rode 5 rides with the kids. We had some snacks as well. Typical amusement park junk food. Chicken tenders, cheese curds, funnel cake fries and a medium lemonade. I spent a total of $26! Yep, that is all. Tickets and snacks! We had so much fun! Can't wait to come back again!!!!

My first time here, staff were nice and helpful! Restrooms were nice but a little muggy. The lines were short other than the Zippin Pippin, but it moves quickly and smoothly. All rides were fun! Definitely going again!

What a gem! We were on our first real family vacation since the pandemic began and found the Bay Beach Amusement Park on a few of the "best spots" lists. This certainly did not disappoint. First off, unlike the "major" parks, this one doesn't have an exorbitant entrance fee, which is wonderful for families. The Zippin Pippin coaster is a fun ride, and I got two shots at it since it wasn't especially busy that day. My "coaster buddy" (our eldest) also gave it high marks. All in all, there's something for everybody at the Bay Beach. Beautiful location and the price is right.

Looking for an awesome day at the park well you've totally found the right spot as this park straight up has something for everyone of all ages! Coming here was for one thing for me and one thing alone that awesome wooden coaster known as Zippin Pippin which was Coaster Credit # 248 for me and what a good one it was as there's tons of airtime on this awesome ride as well as an amazing airtime moment that at the end that the coaster community has labeled the ejector death hill as it launches you soooo crazy especially in the back row making for an amazing ride right tell the end! Besides that amazing wooden roller coaster they have a good amount of family rides and attractions that are scattered across the park but this isn't your typical amusement park it's a mix of a regular city park with rides and a wooden coaster which definitely makes it unique amongst the parks I've visited over the years! This park was totally awesome in many ways and I can tell the locals like it too as it gets quite busy just as it opens and lines can get long so plan accordingly. So parking and admission to the park is free but each ride requires tickets and each ticket is 25¢ which is definitely on the cheaper side as Zippin Pippin was only 4 tickets making for $1 each ride not a bad deal when it comes to going to the park! Overall this was a great adventure to ride a super fun and unique coaster it's with that who knows if I'll ever make it out here again but it's definitely not out of the question as I really enjoyed my time here!

This is probably one of my favorite amusement parks and has great food even made freinds with a seagull, lines took forever

Easy to get to from the highway near downtown Green Bay and UW. Parking is free and rides are cheap both of which make this a great place to visit with the family and not break the bank. There are some food, snacks and drinks available for purchase.

Great Fun!!! When I originally moved here about 25 years ago, I was astonished to see a community-owned amusement park, replete with roller coasters, kiddie rides, and all the trappings of a classic Midwest carnival! Only this one never packs up and leaves! On the occasion of my grandson's visits I'll drag them along to Bay Beach! The rides are great, the hot-dogs and pretzels are scrumptious, and the rides are even better; listening to their excited, screaming voices as they rumble past can't be beat! Of course, there is also a small (18" gauge) railroad to ride, pop-corn to be scarfed, and plenty of giggles and laughs to share. What I found amazing was/is that this facility is 100% owned by the city of GRB and paid for with our tax dollars! Frivolous, you say? Only until you hear the screams and laughter of the Littles! Life is good, up here in da Nort Woods! Come and visit, and bring your brood with ya. Y'all will have a blast! Yee Ha! $0.25 a ride for the slower rides, and maybe a buck or two for the "Premium" rides!

So thrilled we finally decided to go...I'm from Milwaukee and yet had never visited this wonderful Green Bay attraction. Perfect fun for my 8/5/3 year olds. Love that you drive up, park, and walk in all without paying any admission. The ride tickets are 25 cents and rides cost 1-4 tickets each. Including lunch and an ice cream treat plus plenty of rides for all, our family of 5 enjoyed a beautiful afternoon overlooking the bay for less than $50.

Great for the little ones and have a good time very affordable! Its our second time coming from Dallas Texas

Best family spot for the families w young kids. Excellent location and you don't need a Visa gold card. Rides are 25cents. Some. Are 59 cents. Bumper cars and roller coaster just a buck! Thank you Green Bay parks and rec for affordable family fun. Tons of picnic spots

It's ok normally very overcrowded and the rides are old and often break down. The new rides are just boring. Very fun on non crowded days

Took my nephew who was 4 and he had so much fun. Social distancing was in full effect. After each ride the employees would wipe down the ride and then allow the next set of kids to ride. The park was not crowded for a Thursday afternoon. Hey

INCREDIBLE day here on our visit to Green Bay! We spent ten bucks to play for hours with our kids. Great amusement park for all ages!! There's something for everyone and it's laid out very well.

I had been trying to get to Bay Beach for a couple of years. A couple of unsuccessful tries lead to this successful attempt at a visit. We had a wonderful time. The park was well maintained and so reasonable in the price department. There is no fee to park and the rides all take tickets that were 25 cents each. Yes 25 cents, yea I couldn't believe it either. In the era of giant amusement parks with giant prices, Bay Beach is a throwback. A throwback to the time were common folk could have a good time and not break the bank. You wont break the bank. At least I didnt. There are many rides for people of just about all ages. There are multiple picnic areas and slides and swings for the kids to have fun on. The food was not the greatest but it was affordable. Next time that I go i'd love to stay longer and explore more. However the time that we were there was great, I dont have any complaints.

Best place to take the little ones for a day of fun! It's affordable and they loved it! We spent $20 with 6 people and it lasted 5 hours. Rode both trains, big Ferris wheel, bumper cars, merry go round and lots of the small kids rides. Will be an annual trip until they outgrow it, which is guess might be around the 7-8yr old range, maybe older?

This is a great, affordable, fun amusement park. We'll go back next time we're in the area. Almost all the rides are 2-4 tickets, and every ticket costs .25 cents. We went on a weekday and the lines were not long. Easy parking, they have bathrooms and snacks, they only inconvenient was that several of the rides closed before we got to them.

Bay Beach is an awesome, kid friendly experience. The rides are fun and the price is right. They have some yummy food for a small amusement park as well. Be sure to get there early as it gets crowded late, and be sure to go on the Zippin Pippin!! Go. Here.

Used to love bay beach as a kid but not so much anymore it's gotten kinda boring. My favorite ride there is the big swings ,zippin pippin and scrambler still love those rides. Otherwise there is not much wow factor to it. However it is very affordable 25 cents per ticket which is nice :)

Very peaceful and beautiful park to take the family. I wish we had a nice clean place like this back in AZ. We loved it.

Good for young and old, Bay Beach Amusement Park is a great spot for all. Free admission and rides start at 25 cents. Yes, you read that right. The park also has some very unique features. The Zippin Pippin is one of the oldest existing wooden roller coasters in the United States. Thinking wood and also standing next to it while the ride is going, you hear the difference from a steel roller coaster. If you like roller coasters, you must try this special one, right here in Green Bay. A new ride for 2019 is the 100 foot Ferris wheel with one of the gondolas wheelchair accessible. You can't find any other Ferris wheel in northern Wisconsin with this gondola. I was going to try it today, but the line was long. (I went in the afternoon.) It will be on my list for my next visit. Picnic or pick up some delicious foods at their various concession stands. Prices for food are reasonable as well. Did I mention this is situated on the bay of Green Bay? What a view as well. And they keep expanding adding more. One thing I think they could make more money at is if they had a few games (carnival style). Other than that, this is a great spot to visit young and old alike.

My husband and I love that bay beach! The rides are so reasonable and the zippen Pippen roller coaster is our favorite! Whenever we have out-of-town visitors we take them to bay beach and they enjoy it as well. Always friendly staff and a well kept amusement park on the bay!

I love it here such good workers every summer kinda sad aboutsomw of the rides they got rid of though

Love the rides are cheap. Even now my daughter is bigger we can go spend $20 and she can ride lots of rides

Going there was an annual tradition when our kids were young. Now we took our grandkids and they also had a fantastic afternoon.

Im 65 years old and remember going to the park as a 6 year old. The train was the best. Don't live in Green Bay anymore, have been there since 1981. Glad to see it still up and running!

I haven't been to Bay Beach since my kid were little, we went recently with a friend and her young children. The price of tickets has more than doubled since back in the day but still are quite reasonable. There are also more rides and the rides are spaced out better. The reasons for two stars are because it is kind of dirty and several rides we're closed. Maybe they didn't have enough people to operate rides but it was disappointing for the littles but not a huge deal. The cleanliness is a big deal, the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, empty soap dispensers and only cold water with no pressure. Every bench and picnic table was dirty and sticky so there was no place to sit while waiting for people on rides. The city of Green Bay needs to do a better job keeping the park clean so it is a more enjoyable experience. They should also invest in some sort of security to help maintain a better atmosphere, I don't really need or want to see teenagers fighting, be subjected to smoking (especially in a place that is posted non-smoking) etc.,

Really a hidden gem of Wisconsin! Coming back to Wisconsin from Seattle, we are used to paying outrageous prices for parking, entrance fees, and ride tickets. This was a wonderful surprise - FREE parking, FREE entrance and cheap ride tickets! The setting is beautiful and we enjoyed a walk along the water. Pure Wisconsin! People were friendly and clearly, families were having fun. It was a bit hot in the sun and seating was a bit limited but it was a beautiful day and a lot of people enjoy this park. It was very neat, clean and maintained. If you are in the Green Bay area, this is a great spot to stop and take in the beauty of the Green Bay.

You pretty much have to have a heart like the Grinch to not love this place. Location is beautiful. Right on Green Bay - check out the wildlife floating/standing in the water. We even saw a rare (for these parts) white pelican the other day. There is also a wildlife preserve adjacent to the amusement park. There is enough shade to catch some relief on a hot day and the breeze coming in off of the water is always nice. Grounds are well maintained. It is always clean. This is especially important in regards to the bathrooms. Nobody likes an icky restroom, right! Always nice and clean at Bay Beach. Not much litter to speak of. They keep the whole place spiffy. Prices are insane. $0.25 a ticket!? That is insane. The biggest ride (which is a pretty decent wooden coaster is only 4 tickets to ride)! It is very rare to find a place that won't break the bank. Our local community festival charges a lot more for rides that look like they haven't been maintained properly in 20 years. Parking has never been an issue. Sure, you might have to walk a little bit - but not awful. Food is reasonably priced. Nothing great - but hey - it's an amusement park. French fries, hot dogs, funnel cakes. What else do you want? Plenty of places to sit and relax and eat a picnic lunch if you chose to bring one. Even when it is busy - it never feels busy. The lines never seem out of control long. If you have little ones - you can get them on some of the smaller rides without much of a wait at all. It might not be a "high octane" experience like Six Flags - but they have a nice assortment of classic amusement park rides (all with info signs telling you where they came from - which I think is interesting). The coaster - the Zippin' Pippin' - came all the way from Memphis where it was a favorite of Elvis and it's a fun ride. Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, several trains, bumper cars, tilt-a-whirl, and more. It really just does feel like a rare throwback to a day where giving real value was still important. You can feel the civic pride. I've never left feeling unhappy. Highly recommended.

I'm a big fan of the rides, but unfortunately much of the park was dirty and not as well kept as I would have liked, particularly the older buildings. I had a particularly bad experience at the park that I'm not too happy about as well. I was trying to find the pavilion that my company had rented out for our picnic and several staff members either didn't know where it was or were completely rude about finding it. One of them straight up ignored my question and walked away. I traipsed around for about a half an hour before I was able to find it since there was no clear signage of where it was. Not impressed.

Definitely a must go to for a big family or family with young children. Today we have spent a total of 5 hours on a holiday weekend. Lines moved along fairly well. Staff are nice. Food prices are definitely worth eating here and not breaking the bank. Walkways are paved and plenty of picnic tables to bring your own food to have a picnic or grill out. Tickets are .25 cents each and nearly all rides are 2 tickets each.

I miss you..... we will come again soon so my kids can experience your thrilling rides and be happy outside

Bay Beach makes me so nostalgic, I want to cry (shout out to anyone who remembers the green tickets!). Probably because I was the only one of my friends NOT to work there over the summers in high school and clean up after little kids who ate too much cotton candy. I have since relocated to Milwaukee and I try to make it up to Bay Beach whenever I'm in GB. It's not an amusement park in the same way that Six Flags is an amusement park. Bay Beach is more geared towards the younger crowd (not to say there aren't a bunch of kids at Six Flags, but there are also more adults). The last couple times I've gone, I've been in the tiny minority of people there without kids (or who aren't kids themselves). This is fine, honestly. Just prepare yourself for the abundant youths. Let's talk about rides. Zippin Pippin. The roller coaster is super rad. I have a disdain for wooden roller coasters, but this one is a blast. It costs a dollar to ride. At a state fair, a comparable ride would cost at least $5 and it probably wouldn't be as cool, and it definitely wouldn't be a replication of Elvis's FAVORITE roller coaster. Bumper cars, Scrambler, and Tilt A Whirl all typically have lines that take a bit. They're worth it though. Scat and Yo-Yo (or the swings, as we call them) have less of a weight. Neither are good if you get motion sickness. I loved the helicopters as a kid, was terrified of the ferris wheel (which is tiny now that I'm an adult), and had a favorite horse on the merry-go-round. tl;dr If you're in town while Bay Beach is open, go.

Cheap and family fun entertainment. Picnic tables in the shade so pack a lunch. Very little shade, however, in ride lines so prepare to sweat your balls off on warm days and bring lots of sunscreen. Bay Beach should invest in some more shade trees or shade canopies.

What a wonderful amusement park with rides, food, and a beautiful view of Lake Michigan! This is a perfect place for adults and children alike if you would like simple park rides without the cost of the most amusement parks. Plenty of rides to choose from including a roller coaster, two ferris wheels, and other carnival type rides costing 1 to 2 tickets. My wife and I got 40 tickets for $10 and were able to ride everything! There's also no cost for parking and plenty of spaces.

We brought the kids here when we were in town for Memorial Day. The place was PACKED, but it was to expected for a holiday weekend on a day that the weather was beautiful and there's no admission fees. Tickets are 25 cents each. We spent $5 and got to experience a few things - my son and husband rode a couple rides together, my daughter went on the Yo Yo alone, both my son and daughter rode the big slide together and my daughter and I went on the roller coaster (which was the highest "price" ride -- admission was 4 tickets, or a whole $1.00) We also treated the kids to a couple cotton candies and a large soda -- $2.00 each for the cotton candy and $1.50 for the soda. Sooo affordable for a family! I wish we had something like this near us!!! I'd love to go to Green Bay again just to visit here again. The kids enjoyed it and it didn't break the bank. Yes, the rides are like carnival rides (with the exception of the roller coaster), but here if we were to go to a carnival it would have easily cost us $40 to ride the rides that we did, and probably another $15 for the cotton candy and drink. Really -- way to go! This is just exceptional.

I've been coming to this amusement park for over 35 years. Constructed over 125 years ago, a trip to Green Bay isn't complete without taking the kiddos to this staple of the area. Although many of the rides I enjoyed as a kid are still here, they continue to get bigger and better rides each year, all at a ridiculously affordable price. For instance if you go to a local fair the tilt a whirl would be at least $5.00, but at Bay Beach it's only 50 cents a ride. All rides are between 25 cents and $1. Fun for all ages. They have a food pavilion with somewhat mediocre food. (Although the freshly spun cotton candy is a must) Lots of picnic tables available if you want to cookout or bring a picnic, but watch out for those pesky seagulls, as they're everywhere! Parking is free. The only downfall is they start closing down many of the rides at 8:30 when they are open til 9. I mean if you are open til 9, I think 8:30 is too soon to close rides.

I mean what is there to complain about really. Its clean and cheap! My nieces had a blast! Will definitely have to go back!

No admission fee, and the most expensive ride costs a dollar!? Is this real life!? I went to Bay Beach occasionally as a child, and I never realized what a deal it is until now! Tickets are currently 25 cents each, and rides cost between 1 and 4 tickets. Food is decently priced too. The Zippin Pippin (aka Elvis' favorite roller coaster) is fantastic. All the other rides are great too! My personal favorites include the slide and the Scat. My extended family and I went on a sunny weekend day, and it took a maximum of 20 minutes to get on a ride. It may be small (with a comparatively less frightening roller coaster), but its lines and prices can't be beat by Six Flags! This place is especially great for small children.

Wonderful place to visit for our family with 3 children ages 6, 8 & 10. Rides to keep all kids happy at a price the parents appreciated! You won't break the bank at this amusement park. We would definitely visit again!

Have a 5 spot? You can go to town at Bay Beach Amusement Park. Rides range from 1-2 tickets per rider and get this, each ticket is $.25 each. Yes. Have at it kids. I'll break it all down for you, highlighting my experience... Parking: Can be crazy. Like stalking a shopper at the mall during Christmas time walking to his car, crazy. Pack you patient pants, it's not a far walk to the actual park. Tickets: Buy them, you'll need them to ride. Duh. Also - if you're going to stand next to your child on the carousel, you need tickets too. Rides: There are rides for kids of all ages, from 2 yrs on up. My almost 2 year old wasn't having any of the rides so she watched her 3.5 year old sister enjoy. Some 3.5 year old faves include: the fighter jets, the Ferris Wheel, the carousel, the Jeeps. *I wish we had time to catch the train! Food: It's fine and you won't find anything remotely healthy here. The chicken breast sandwich (closest to healthy) was decent and my root beer float was pretty delightful. Prices were fair too. There's both indoor and outdoor seating for folks to enjoy their eats. This place is one of kind for nostalgia and value and if you're passing through Green Bay and have a kid in tow, it's a must stop.

Really, what's there not to love!! We started with the classic Ferris Wheel, never gets old!! The view from the top is great, not just from this ride, but many! On to the Brand new Zippin Pippen. Excellent wooden roller coaster!! We rode it 5 times from all parts of the train & at the equivalent of $1.00/ride, you more than get your $$ worth. Many other rides filled our Monday evening along with some great "fair" food from the old pavilion. This place is a gem! It holds some truly great childhood memories and now that I can take my nephews and son, they will start their own fab memories!!! We'll for sure be back there soon. @ $.25/ ticket, why wouldn't you go here!!!

This place is great and the prices can't be beat! I was excited to know that there was a rollercoaster in Green Bay! And that it was so cheap to ride!!! There are other rides too for the young and old. There is a picnic area and public restrooms that were surprisingly clean. Parking was not a problem either. The rollercoaster was a good time- old school wooden coaster with a short wait on a busy Sunday afternoon. :D

Bay Beach is a huge staple for Green Bay. This is a fun, little amusement park which is for perfect for families as the tickets for rides are really cheap. 1 ticket costs $0.25! I heard it use to be even cheaper! There's a lot of fun rides including the Zippin Pippin roller coaster, the huge slide, the train ride, tilt-a-whirl and bumper cars. Bumpers cars are definitely my favorite. I could do that ride all day when I go here with my little bro. There's also space to have a picnic or have a group of people get together to eat and then have some fun on the rides. Beware, there is a check-in deal for one free ticket. I should it to the ticket girl and she knew nothing about and wouldn't give me a free ticket. Not the end of the world as it just costs a quarter. I'm guessing not every employee is aware of the check-in deal.

Fun place to take my younger children for a few hours. $20 got my three girls on all the rides they wanted.
